Coefficients for a generalized-spherical-harmonic expansion of the crystallite orientation distribution
function (ODF) through L=16 were obtained by an incomplete pole-figure method from a
deep-drawing aluminum-killed sheet steel sample with surface perpendicular to the sheet-normal
direction (ND). These coefficients were subsequently transformed from the RD, TD, ND reference
frame to –ND, TD, RD and ND, RD, TD reference frames. Spherical-surface-harmonic expansions
of incomplete {110}, {100}, and {112} pole-figures were calculated for each reference frame and used
as input data to calculate ODF coefficients for each frame. The thus-calculated coefficients were
transformed to the RD, TD, ND frame in each case. Series expansions of pole-figures and ODF for
each frame are compared with the initial data.
